Michael O'Leary, boss of budget airline Ryanair, suggested replacing the cargo hold on his airplanes with beds in a move that would allow for a "mile high club".

The airline chief's saucy suggestion came during his first ever "#GrillMOL" Twitter chat, after being asked if he had considered fitting seats in the cargo hold.

"Not seats but beds. Mile high club anyone?," he wrote.

The airline chief was in a similarly mischievous mood in response to other questions for the "#GrillMOL" session, quipping that the airline was working "as we breathe" on charging passengers' inhalations.

In a chaotic Twitter session in which the Ryanair boss initially forgot to use the airline's #GrillMOL hashtag, O'Leary answered questions on a wide range of issues, including hostile ones.

The Ryanair boss told one Twitter user that the airline's aircraft were "fuelled with Lep[rechuan] wee and my bulls**t!".

Making fun of Ryanair's cost-cutting image, O'Leary told another Twitter user that good questions would be "free" but "stupid ones" would face a €5 additional charge.

Asked for advice on what passengers could call him on one of Ryanair's flights, the chief executive quipped: "Call me genius, Jesus, Superman, or odious little s**t, whatever takes your fancy as long as you fly Ryanair!"
